Milwaukee Brewers

The Brewers beat the Padres on Wednesday behind six strong innings out of Jhoulys Chacin once again. The win evened the series and sets up a rubber match on Thursday before the weekend series vs. the Braves begins.

Freddy Peralta, just twenty-two years old, has struck out a dozen batters per nine innings, on average, in his first ten Major League starts.

Control is still a problem and it ought to be for a guy who strikes out close to three batters for every hit he allows. He has one more walk (28) on the season than hits allowed (27) and is giving up less than five hits per nine.

So do you stay patient against a guy with such devastating stuff but who is prone to walk guys? Or do you look for your pitch early in the count when the K isn’t in play? That’s the decision Braves batters have to make ahead of this one.

Atlanta Braves

Atlanta will counter with Kevin Gausman, only twenty-seven years old in his own right and 0–1 with the Braves after giving up three runs in five innings in his Atlanta debut.

Gausman only struck out two in that game but he’s still averaging 7.4 on the season, all with Baltimore otherwise. It’s his lowest such mark since 2014 when he struck out exactly seven per nine. He was over eight and approaching nine in each of the last three years.

Atlanta needed to avoid a sweep, or even losing three out of four this week to Washington and it’s out of the woods in that regard. The Braves have won two of the first three and go for a dagger on Thursday. They trail Philly by percentage points for first place.
